The X-Project – level 1
15-03-2021 07:00
Some people love unusual and dangerous sports. A group of athletes have a dream. They plan an event in the Swiss mountains. They want to go down a mountain. Different people do it differently.
A helicopter takes the athletes up the mountain. The men go down. Some men windsurf. Some men have snowboards. Another sport they use is speed riding. People use a paraglider and skis in this sport. Some people use a kite and a snowboard.
Some athletes never do anything like this in the past. They are scared. They still love the feeling.
The X-Project is a film, too. It is full of beautiful images. It shows how the athletes move.
Difficult words: windsurf (to move on water on a special board with a sail), paraglider (a special equipment that makes it possible to fly in the air), kite (a light thing that flows in the wind and somebody holds a long string and moves it).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
